There are a few things that this big antenna does not do well (it is not compact and easy to take down when a hurricane threatens), but for what I wanted it works very well. No need for an electronic amplifier/booster. Note that the specs in their literature states that the average gain for the multiple US TV bands are: VHF Lo: 3.6db (54-88 Mhz) VHF Hi: 8.6 db (174-216Mhz) UHF: 9.5db (470-806MHz) FM: ? (87.5 - 108 Mhz) HDTV: in my area there are both UHF and VHF-Hi HDTV stations - the main antenna farm is located only about 23 miles away, and most broadcasters are in the same general direction, but there are multiple large buildings in the way, and plenty of big trees even though I have the antenna mounted on a mast 24ft over the ground. I had the previous model of this beast before and knew that it would perform well enough for this job. I have no problem receiving the main HDTV stations in our area. Seems like a better image than the compressed signal from ATT Uverse. FM - I like to listen to a few college radio stations in our area and they are not strong broadcasters - this antenna has no trouble picking those stations up as well. Size - this antenna is big - a beast - fortunately made of mostly hollow aluminum and some plastic so it is not heavy. If you know about broadcasting and antennas, basically the higher the frequency the smaller the wavelength, and thus the smaller the antenna needs to be. UHF frequencies, where most HDTV is now days, do not require this giant antenna. However the lower frequencies VHF and FM require a larger antenna to achieve the same level of gain. Since I knew there were several HDTV channels broadcasting on VHF and I wanted FM reception of some weak stations I went with this solution. Do your homework and check through various online sites where your stations broadcast antennas are, and what frequencies they're on. For me, the downside to this size is that the antenna needs to be taken down in preparation for a hurricane, and that is not trivial. Directional - This antenna is also fairly directional and works best only when aimed correctly. Fortunately the main broadcast antennas for the stations I'm interested in are all within a few degrees of each other from my location. Do your homework and find out where those HDTV broadcast antennas are. Cons: The plastic parts are light and make good insulators for the best antenna design, but mechanically these parts will be fried in the South Florida sun and will not last. On my old antenna (very similar to this one), after 10 years, the plastic parts had become so brittle that one of the "arms" had broken off and was waving in the breeze (maybe a bird landed on it?). When I brought the old one down to repair it, many more plastic pieces broke. However, the old antenna may have been over 10 years old - so yes, the plastic parts are annoying in that they will break, but 10+ years is not that bad a lifetime. This new plastic and design looks a little sturdier than the old design so I'm hoping that it last longer in the SFL sun. The assembly is not completely trivial and there are some orientation issues with parts that might be helped with better instructions. I was able to get it done without help, but I think most people would consider me handy. Again this thing is big and required some thinking on where I would assemble it and how I would get it up onto the mast. I assembled it outside on the roof, as close to where I was going to need to mount it on the mast. ---- Next time I may experiment with some of the more modern "bow-tie" type antennas in the attic for the HDTV, along with a separate FM antenna for the FM receiver. I just did not want to hassle with the unknowns and additional wiring that setup would require. I knew this setup would work since it was replacing a very similar older antenna and every antenna recommendation site clearly states that outside and high up are the best mounting locations for the best signal.

Initially I bought the db8 antenna which did great on UHF and the upper VHF. I was able to get channel 2 with some drop-outs but once I used an amplifier (DB8) and a splitter, I completely lost the channel. That channel had about a <50% signal strength before the amp or the splitter. I decided I wanted to go with a better VHF antenna since the cm-7778 amp will allow me to combine inputs form two antennas. Once I connected it, it worked flawlessly. The strength after the amp and the splitter jumped from 23% to 79%. The only drawback is that channel 7 which used to be 85% with the DB8, dropped to about 75% which is fine with me since with a digital signal you either receive a channel or you don't! I believe that is due to the fact that the 3018 is directional and it wasn't exactly facing the channel 7 towers. I am assuming a lot of folks are trying to do the same thing that I did which is get a good VHF/UHF to 4 different TV outlets so I am going to list what I used. First problem would be which amp and how would I power the amp. I went with the channel master 7778. The great thing about it is that you can put the power supply inside the house and it will send the power through the cable line to the amp outdoors. The trick is you have to use a "power pass through splitter". The one that I used is sold by amazon. Do a search for "4-Way Digital Cable and Satellite Splitters". If you live very far from the tower, you can try the CM 7777 which has a slightly better gain but could result in an overload if you live close. For the antenna choices, it depends on your location. In my case I am about 40 miles away from the towers. I went with the DB8 for the UHF channels and the Channel Master 3018 for the VHF. I recommend going with two antennas because the DB8 is not directional and it does not have to face the towers and the 3018 is. The DB8 has about 75 miles range for UHF. The 3018 has 35(as per the box). For VHF, the DB8 is unclear, and the 3018 has a 60miles. If you only care about UHF (channels 14 and up), the DB8 would be just fine. If you live far from the towers, you can go with one of the higher end deep fringe antennas from channel master. It doesn't do any good to spend more money on a bigger bulkier antenna if you really don't need it.

Anthem Arizona. 40 miles from South Mountain towers. All my locals are broadcast from the same direction. This antenna replaced a GE Yagi from Walmart that was pulling in 52 channels, many I would lose at night or bad weather or other random reasons. This one pulls in 77 channels. Although about 10 are digitalized and not watchable but all of those are shopping channels in the 20s and Spanish channels in the 40s. None of which I care about. Those channels may be broadcasting weak signals. All others are strong signals with 1080i (ATSC 3.0) better HD picture than the Yagi had. The antenna was mostly fully assembled. Just pulled out the arms and attached the coax connection with the wing nuts to combine the UHF and VHF arms. All parts were in the box. It's mounted outside on a one story house. Luckily there are no two stories or mountains in my way. Still I cannot see South Mountain from my roof. I'm using a Fire TV Recast for DVR and still get a weak signal indication on some channels but it doesn't look weak at all to me. I have not lost any signal yet while watching TV. I put it up by myself without a problem. I bought a replacement mount and pipe from channel master also. Much more secure than the last one. I believe this rig will withstand our monsoon storms and the intense Sun for many years. I put this antenna up two weeks ago. I would definitely recommend this antenna and would buy again. I paid Antenna Man on You Tube $20 to analyze my location and he told me to get the larger one 2032 but I went with the cheaper smaller since I am only 40 miles away and I am very happy with it.

Style: 60 Mile
The antenna is rated for 60 miles, so you have to wonder what RCA was doing when they rated the other antenna that is a fraction of the size for 70 miles. I think they stretched the truth a bit. This antenna is huge, you won't want to assemble it in the house, do it in your driveway. Advice: use a aluminum anti oxidation compound that you can get in a Home Depot, or on Amazon, it is a paste that you put on the parts that connect together, then slide them together and wipe off any that squeezes out. I cover both parts, the pipe it goes into, and the part that goes into the pipe. There are two places like this, an if you do this correctly, the antenna can always be taken down and disassembled. if you don't do it, the parts will oxidize and become one, and very difficult to get apart, and probably ruined when you do get them apart. This antenna for 60 miles is 9 feet 4 inches long, and 7 feet 6 inches wide when assembled. If you live within 40 miles of most TV stations, you don't need an antenna this big. Also, the height above all around you will determine how well any antenna will work. If you put it in your attic, and have a metal roof, it won't work at all in your attic. If you don't have a metal roof, the attic is the last place to put it, but in a suburb of a big city, you may get good results in your attic. It all depends on where the Tv stations are. The bigger the antenna, the more gain it has. Gain is the amount of amplification the antenna will offer with nothing else but coax attached to it. There are distribution amplifiers, and some are better than others, and they will help when you have weak stations that sort of come in, they do not work magic, no signal means no picture regardless of the amplifier.. But also know that the distribution part of the amplifier may be what you need. That is so you can run coax to 4 or 5 rooms, and get a good picture in each room. If you use a simple splitter, you will get a degradation of signal on each port of a simple splitter. So consider an amplified splitter, otherwise called a distribution amplifier. You can find all of that on Amazon, just read the reviews with a open mind, look for patterns in what people say, anything that is repeated over and over in each review, is likely true. The Channel Master antennas are the best you can get, even if support is lacking in some way. You should not really need support on an antenna. I will have to go find a nut to replace the stripped wing nut they gave me. My rating for 4 stars is because it is not going to be easy to install due to the large size, so no, it is not so easy to install. I am going to climb a tower and take down what I have now, then put this one up at 45 feet. 4 stars on easy to assemble, it might seam easy if you skip the steps I told you about, but if you didn't, it is not so easy. The oxidation paste is messy, so keep your hands clean, and wash them if you are done, before your touch anything you will put in your mouth, like food. Picture quality is always excellent. Know that the antenna will work well when you first put it up, no matter if you skip any of the steps I mention above, but over time, the antenna will degrade by getting the parts oxidized, which will hurt their ability to work at 100% of their ability. Update: I installed the antenna tonight, and while the smaller RCA antenna rated for 70 miles didn't get anything from Miami, which is way far from me, this antenna got a pretty good lock on Miami, but it could be better. There is no doubt about how much gain this antenna has, Miamia is over 2 hours south going 75 MPH down 95 South. I do get a lot more stations than I did, so I am happy with this antenna. I have it at about 45 feet up, pointing South.. If you put it in an attic, it can work well, but not if you have a metal roof.

I'm looking to dump my highly overpriced cable TV service. Living in rural Pennsylvania, my closest stations are 20 to 40 miles away. I wanted an antenna that was not unmanageably big but that had enough gain to provide strong signal levels. Based on specifications and reviews, I took a chance on this antenna. I installed the antenna yesterday. I couldn't wait to connect it to my TV to see what I would receive. I had no idea what to expect. I had the TV autoprogram itself for the new over-the-air channels. It picked up 17 new, perfect channels; seven were in high definition. Now I get NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox over the air for free. Flyers hockey was on in high definition as I tested it out. I am shutting off cable TV this week. Between this antenna and a Roku box (with Netflix [$8] and Hulu+ [$8]), my monthly TV bill is going from $120 to $16+(*). This antenna and the Roku box will pay for themselves in less than two months -- even after buying some shows (* at $1.99 each). Screw you, cable TV!

After trying a couple of smaller, good antennas, with only minor success, I finally broke down and did what I should have done from the beginning, and I bought this big fella. It arrives in a box a good 6' tall or more. The antenna is in three sections inside the box. I watched a number of videos online about assembling the antenna, as well as reading several reviews, here. I installed this in my attic, hanging it only slightly below the rafters (see the attached photo). I used antennaweb.org to see the best source of channels and where to point the antenna. A handy tool to have is a compass app that I downloaded and used to point this in the area listed on the antennaweb.org website. The antenna, when fully assembled, is around 16 feet long, The VHF antenna rods open up and the full span is a good 6'-8' wide. It definitely "explores the space" 😉 But you need those wide rods to pull in the low-VHF and hi-VHF channels cleanly. I am in the Atlanta market, living northwest of town. Per antennaweb I am in the neighborhood of 25-40 miles from the available stations. This thing pulls in LOADS of channels. I used the auto-finder on both of my TVs to populate the channel list, and I am pulling in more than 90 TV channels! Bear in mind, that includes there being multiple channels being broadcast per station. Picture quality is fantastic! Now I need to make a decision upon which streaming service to purchase, as I'm not getting sports channels like ESPN (college football season will be here before we know it). I am SUPER-HAPPY with this antenna. It is pulling in everything spectacularly! Low-VHF, Hi-VHF, all of the UHF channels. This is the one you want.

---> this is " THE SECOND REVIEW " i've done for this brand of antenna & my antenna is a CM-3020 but this actually applies to the CM-3018.., CM-3016 antennas aswell & any other antenna tv set OLD or NEW , coaxial or flat-wire type lead in cable from the antenna down & into the house & its for U ones' out there who have bought an antenna ( ANY ANTENNA ) recently and maybe a tv set also lately.., & my Q is: the tv set u have: is it A NEW HDTV SET or ARE U USING A OLDER ANALOG TV SET with A DIGITAL CONVERTER BOX on it " ??.., cuz there's a 99% chance that whichever one u have ISNT SET UP RIGHT. IF u bought something new " THEN it's most-likely set to CABLE " cuz all new tv sets from the factory are set to cable tv by default & MOST ANALOG to HDTV CONVERTER BOXES will switch back to the cable setting by default IF unplugged - & or left unplugged for long periods of time if they have been unused OR a power outage like electrical storm etc. has happened BECAUSE THE ANALOG to DIGITAL SET-TOP BOXES - themselves have NO BACK-UP BATTERY such as A COIN CELL BATTERY like other devices have to keep the settings' memory intact " ONLY the remotes IF ANY have batteries & do not have the settings if something like above should occur - " but there are SOME TV DEALERS tho will take the time before they sell a set to go into the tvs' menu setup & scroll down to where it says * signal OR signal source * & switch it from cable to analog OR antenna " - ( because NO ANTENNA , TV SET , or DIGITAL CONVERTER BOX will work right if not set up properly ) & then after setting it up right: exit the menu & turn the tv set off , wait a few minutes - NOT UNPLUG but SWITCH THE SET OFF for a short time & then turn it back on so it'll be set up for digital signals ).., JUST BECAUSE u have a HDTV or DTV tv set , it doesnt mean THAT the set is ready to start watching or working right ! ALL OF my sets except 3 require a ANALOG to DIGITAL CONVERTER BOX aswell as the TV SET UP CORRECTLY to begin to work right .., & again -the same goes with a analog to digital tv converter: if THOSE ARE SEALED from the factory - they are set to cable by default unless u bought one used & either-way have to be set to antenna in the ANALOG to TV or TVs' MENU before they'll work right with ANY analog tv set.., some people like myself need a rotor & a booster also but if ur in a city or close by one - u may only need the booster & the best one i brand i think are the: " EAGLE ASPEN DIST AMP 25 GX PRE-AMP " or BOOSTER & amazon has them on they're site.., the eagles are about half the price of what channel master pre-amps costs & i'm not even sure if winegard sells an amp or not - but if they do it wasnt offered to me when i bought my winegard outdoor HD8200U antenna for a back-up & WHICH IS STILL IN my garage because the channel master 3020 tv antenna that i bought in '2011 is still up & doing the job.., but i bought the winegard hd8200U as a back-up cuz i didnt think the channel master 3020 wud last this long or until Nov. '2017 - BUT IT HAS.., & if i'm still alive to see the time come to put the winegard antenna up i'll have it ready.., BUT the the things i mentioned above are probably most-of if not ALL OF your' problems.., & BTW no antenna i kno of comes with a mast OR mounting pole & or the 2-wire flat lead in & or coaxial cable unless specified in the products' description & things like a mast.., rotor & rotor wire.., coax.., connectors, uhf/vhf matching transformers etc. have to be purchased separately so be sure u figure those into the cost of everything AND as far as the rotor-wire goes: thats the same thing as a 100' or longer roll of telephone wire & which is a lot cheaper than rotor wire & the last rotor i boght , the rotor wire WASNT INCLUDED and HAD TO BE purchased separtely but i used a $5 roll of 100' of telephone wire which strands are color-coded & u can run the red wire to the #1 connection & the green wire to the #2 connection & so on.., - some people think or assume that all of that stuff is included with the sale & 99% of the time , IT ISNT !.., so if u just received this recently & want to use it - then take the time to go thru the steps i mentioned & see if it works any better for u !.. HAPPY T-DAY & safe XMAS '2017 & N-Y '18 also ..

This antenna might work great for VHF signals but don’t waste your money in the US where over-the-air TV is Digital (UHF). I bought this antenna to replace an aging ClearStream C4 whose signal was starting to deteriorate. Back in the VHF days we had a Yagi/LP style antenna very similar to this Channel Master 3020 but switched over to the reflective array style ClearStream C4 when digital TV was forced upon us. The ClearStream C4 had worked very well for us since 2008 but even when new, there were a couple of days each year when the signals on the weaker stations glipped in and out. When I decided to replace the ClearStream, I first tried a Yagi style Channel Master CM2016 but it was only a 45 mile antenna and wasn’t it’s signal wasn’t any better than the old ClearStream it replaced. I should have just bit the bullet and bought another 70 mile ClearStream but the price had more than doubled to $150. I opted for the $100 open box CM 3020 boasting a 100 mile range. I had read that people were beginning to move back to Yagi/LP style antennas and this Channel Master antenna offered a 100 mile range. We are about 50 miles from the St. Louis stations but the signals from the FOX and PBS affiliates are very weak so I looked for the maximum range I could find. I believe the CM 3020 we got is defective because even when the signal strength indicator on the TV was strong, the sound and sometimes the picture glipped out every few minutes, especially when the wind was strong. But even without that defect, the antenna is extremely directional. The antenna had to be rotated practically every time we changed channels and even a couple of degrees rotation would make a big difference in the signal strength. Unfortunately, by the time I got the CM3020 put up, the return window had already closed. This thing is massive, over 12 ½’ long and almost 8’ wide and no picnic to mount on a 25’ mast. I had it up and down 3 times before I gave up. I even tried replacing the coax all the way from the antenna to the amplifier in the basement with no improvement. In the end, I took the old Clear Stream apart, cleaned all the connections, replaced the old built in balun transformer and put it back up. It works as good as it did when it was new. Bottom line, I wasted $140 on two antennas and then spent $6.50 to fix the old one.
